Hysterectomy Alternatives

Hysterectomy alternatives is what first comes to mind when the initial shock starts wearing off. You may want to investigate into several different directions at once:

1) Instead of classical hysterectomy, is there any other kind of hysterectomy that might suit you better? In particular, if it needs to be hysterectomy after all, is there a less invasive variant of hysterectomy? For instance, vaginal laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Or, they may be a classical surgical procedure that eliminates the need for hysterectomy, such as abdominal myomectomy.

2) Is there another kind of surgery that might override the need for hysterectomy? If it can be a minimally invasive type of surgery, with short hospital stay and rapid recovery aftermath, so much the better. In this hysterectomy scenario, you trade one cumbersome surgery for another.

Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures may fit the bill here perfectly, ditto for the many types of endometrial ablation.

3) Finally, how about healing yourself without any kind of surgery at all? This is what this site is all about.

Endometrial Ablation For Fibroids And Menorrhagia Video

This is another video that the visitors of How To Avoid Hysterectomy.com will much benefit from. It very clearly shows the process of endometrial ablation -- here, in a case in which hysterectomy was ruled out because of the general bad condition of the patient. She had severe anemia from excessive bleeding and from the video we see why she was bleeding, the endometrial tissue was so swollen up. Endometrial ablation, here performed through operative hysterescopy, saved the day. The patient will not bleed any more, and she will be taking oral iron to improve her blood count. After that, her state will be revised once again.
